[quote=Anonymous]My parents moved nearby to me (an expensive DC suburb, but they did it out of love for me). They're actually 3 houses down, the kids can easily walk to their home when they're bored. They love being near grandkids, help out after school, read in their preschools, hang out with them at the pool, make us dinner once a week. We all play games at night. It's very nice and it makes our life much easier. Contrast that to other parents I know who don't visit and just expect visits. I get that kids move away, but sometimes you have to follow them in your retirement. When we renovated our home, we put an inlaw/au pair suite in our basement. I figured there would be a time when one of my parents would need to live with us. Yeah there are stairs, but they make stair lifts I guess? I've never been in a home in this area with a first floor bedroom. [/quote]
